Gjennom
Alisons liv har hun skapt 6000 originale hellige geometri mønster på
frihånd som befinnes verden rundt i andres hjem.
Since
the millenium
her paintings are produced through major Numerological
Divination
(from Latin divinare
"to be inspired by god") inspiration by the "source"
as well as her vast interest in contemporary art entwined with her
mantra of "infinity, peace and healing" whilst working
with
her pieces.
Siden
år 2000 har hennes malerier vært basert på guddommelige kraft
inspirert av kilden i 7.dimensjon så vel som hennes interesse i
samtidskunst der hun mantra "evig liv, fred og healing" mens
hun arbeider.

As
a Norwegian-American, born and raised on Long Island, New York, and
now residing in Norway and Spain, she also has an inborn interest and
talent in the art of rosepainting (rosemaling) which originates from
the religious symbolism of the achantus vine throughout the
Mediterrraen. She studied the art at Sand Handcraft School with
instructor Bergliot Lunde and attended workshops throughout Norway
with other well-known rosepainting artists.
Her
work in this technique has been in such demand and sales
have
been ongoing reflecting her talent and success in this field.
Som
en Norsk-Amerikaner, født og oppvokst på Long Island i staten New
York, bosatt nå på Karmøy, har hun hatt en sterk interesse og
talent i rosemaling som er opprinnelig fra religiøs symbolikk av
akantusbladet som finnes i sør-Europa. Alison har studert rosemaling
ved Suldal Håndverkskule med Bergliot Lunde som lærer. Hun har også
brukt en del tid sammen med kjente rosemalere i Telemark. Hennes
arbeid har vært så ettersøkt som reflektere hennes talent og
